Frequently asked questions
Gastro-oesophageal reflux, or reflux as it’s commonly known, is the process of stomach acid leaking upwards from the stomach to the oesophagus (food pipe). Reflux is a common condition with 15-20% of adults experiencing symptoms at least once per week. [1] If you find yourself experiencing symptoms of reflux more than two times per week, or having severe episodes, it’s considered likely that you have gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
The cause of reflux is thought to be related to your diet. However, factors of weight, pregnancy, connective tissue disorder, stress, smoking, certain body movements, bending over, and certain medications can also contribute towards the onset of reflux. GORD is primarily caused by an issue with the lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS), a muscle located at the bottom of the oesophagus (food pipe). [1]
Commonly prescribed treatment for reflux includes antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Antacids work by neutralising the stomach acid that causes reflux, and are available in liquid, chewable, and tablet forms. PPIs work on the cells that line the stomach to reducing acid production.
